Study Summary

Infections often occur after ventricular assist devices (VADs) are placed. These infections can be very serious. The goal of this study is to understand why these infections occur. Bacteria (germs) normally live on our skin and in our noses. After surgery, they can infect the VAD. The investigators will collect cultures of your skin and nose before and after surgery. The investigators will compare these bacteria to bacteria that cause infections. Their genes will be compared to see which ones help the bacteria cause infection.

Primary Outcome

The primary goal is to collect information that describes infections in patients receiving LVADs.
